By the Grace of G-d 5th of Cheshvan, 5724 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I was pleased to see you during the Season of Our Rejoicing, and I hope that your participation in the Farbrengens will be lastingly beneficial to you.

I was pleased to receive your letter written at the beginning of the month of Tishrei, in which you write about your activities in the past summer. I was particularly pleased to hear from Rabbi Lew about the discussions which you had between you with regard to your future activities, in addition to those you write about in your said letter.¹ May G-d grant that all these activities should be continued effectively, in accordance with the principle of our Sages that the essential thing is the deed.² This is to say, the ultimate aim is to influence all participants in the direction of actually fulfilling the daily Mitzvoth.

I wish to emphasize again what I have mentioned to you before, that you ought to utilize your capacities in a satisfactory measure in your field of studies, and what is also most essential, to find a suitable Shidduch soon.

With regard to your question about מחיצה which is a Shaala related to the Shulchan Aruch, you surely know that it is not my custom to give decisions on such Shaalos, and you should therefore discuss the matter again with the Rov that you mention.

As we are coming from the month of Tishrei, concluding on the happy note of the Season of Rejoicing, the purpose of which is to take the goodly measure of this spirit along for the whole year, may it be so in your case, materially and spiritually.

With blessing

M. Schneerson
